Just go to the link I provided if you are not a believer. Also look at this link far below. The #9 Tungsten Super shot has the same 1.5 inch penetration into gel at 70.7 yards as the #5 lead has at 57.4 yards. https://www.tungstensupershots.com/

In a 1.5 ounce load of Tungsten Super Shot #9 there are 536 pellets. In the 1.5 ounce load of #5 lead there are 260 pellets. I think it will be more than a rash and it has proven itself.
